Chapter 271: Deceiving the upper and lower, the big case of Zhejiang's political envoy!

When the Ming land reform entered a comprehensive stage.

The first to come with good news was the Taizhou Mansion of the Zhejiang Political Envoy.

Zhang Jixian, who was the governor of Taizhou Prefecture at the time, sent a memo to Zhu Yunxi, claiming that the Taizhou Mansion he governed had successfully completed the land reform.

All the people's land deeds have been recovered!

In a few days, all the deeds will be sent back to Jingshi for safekeeping!

Immediately afterwards, in addition to Taizhou Mansion, Jiaxing Mansion, Shaoxing Mansion, Hangzhou Mansion, Huzhou Mansion and other places also sent good news.

Zhejiang's political envoy is in a good situation for land reform!

Zhu Yunxi was naturally overjoyed.

On the morning of the second day, Zhu Yunxi praised Zhejiang Chengxuan's political envoy in public for his ability to handle affairs, and it only took more than a month to complete the land reform of all 75 counties in 11 prefectures and 1 scattered prefecture under his jurisdiction.

Its speed is even far superior to that of the Kyoshi!

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help asking: "Who is the political envoy of Zhejiang Chengxuan's political envoy?" ”

"How powerful is it?"

"Lone remember, it should be Wang Du, right? This person has served as the political envoy of Fujian Chengxuan for ten years, and he has rich experience, but he is a rare important minister. ”

The position of the political envoy is a feudal official if it sounds good, but if it is ugly, it is simply the emperor of the soil.

If it weren't for a cautious, diligent and upright person, it would be impossible for him to hold the position of political envoy for so many years.

"Your Highness, Wang Yu has left office in the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu."

"The current political envoys are Cheng Qian and Xin Yan...... Well, although these two people are not very wrong, they are mediocre, and they didn't expect to be so fast in the matter of land reform. ”

A Counsellor replied.

Zhu Yunxi nodded, Wang Yu has a good reputation, and has been re-elected to the position of political envoy.

Therefore, he always thought that the position of Zhejiang Zuobu political envoy was still held by Wang Yu, but in the twenty-four years of Hongwu, he was negligent, but it was normal.

After all, when he crossed over, it was already twenty-five years since Hongwu.

And last year, there were a lot of things, and Zhu Yunxi didn't have time to pay attention to who the political envoy of Zhejiang Zuobu was.

"Well, it seems that Lone can rest assured."

When Zhu Yunxi heard that Wang Yu had left office, he still wanted to recruit the other party back and continue to serve as the political envoy of Zhejiang Zuobu.

But now it seems that there is no need for this.

"The order went down, and ordered Cheng Qian and Xin Yan to compile the experience of the political envoy of Zhejiang Chengxuan into a book, send it to Beijing, and circulate it to hundreds of officials!"

"Let's learn it too, take a look!"

Advanced experience naturally needs to be shared in order to make progress.

And with this order, only five days later, the experience of land reform from Zhejiang Chengxuan's political envoy Si was sent to Zhu Yunxi.

It was only when he opened the booklet and looked at it.

But I couldn't help but slap the table hard!

Shocking tea splashes!

"That's what they call experience?" Zhu Yunxi was furious.

Leave this booklet directly on the ground.

said angrily: "It's just nonsense, nonsense!" ”

The content in this booklet has no substantive points at all, and there are many mistakes, which are completely inconsistent with the experience of land reform in Yingtianfu, Suzhou Prefecture, and the areas around Gyeonggi in the past few months!

It can be said that a lot of the content in it is full of imagination!

It's not like it's a problem at all! And there are also problems such as exaggeration!

How can Zhu Yunxi not be angry?

"Your Highness, but is there anything wrong or missing?" Jiang Zhen asked on the side.

Zhu Yunxi's mood calmed down slightly.

Snorted coldly: "This is completely a thing to coax a three-year-old child!" There is nothing desirable at all! ”

"Do you really think Lone is a child who doesn't know the world?"

"Jiang Xuan, you quickly lead Jinyiwei and go to Zhejiang to check for me!"

"Gu now suspects that either Cheng Qian and Xin Yan don't take Gu seriously, and just write something to send Lone."

"Or...... It is the political envoy of Zhejiang Chengxuan...... There was no land reform at all! ”

Jiang Xuan's eyes froze.

Both of these situations, either way, are a great culpability!

'M afraid...... Cheng Qian and Xin Yan have suffered this time!

"Subordinates obey!"

Jiang Zheng bowed, turned around and retreated, ready to summon the Jinyi Guard and go to Zhejiang to send political envoys!

And after Jiang Zhen left.

Zhu Yunxi also recruited Yang Shiqi, the director of the People's Supervision Department.

instructed: "From now on, I want you to go to Zhejiang immediately to collect public opinion from Shaoxing Mansion, Jiaxing Mansion, Taizhou Mansion and other places!" ”

"Lone must know the specific situation of the people of Zhejiang!"

"Make no mistake!"

Yang Shiqi didn't know exactly what was going on.

But he still immediately accepted the order given by Zhu Yunxi, turned around and left the palace, and also prepared to go to Zhejiang.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yunxi gave the last order.

"Before Xuan, Zhejiang Chengxuan political envoy Si Zuobu political envoy Wang Blunt entered Beijing to meet him!"

"Lone must see him appear in Jingshi within three days!"

………………

Three days later.

The Imperial Study.

Zhu Yunxi finally met the former political envoy of Zhejiang Zuobu, a member of the court from the second grade, and a feudal official!

"Sir, please be seated."

Wang Yu is now sixty, which is considered an advanced age in ancient times when people were scarce for nearly seventy years.

It is no wonder that he will step down from the position of political envoy of Zuobu.

But looking at his face, although he is old, he does not look haggard, and his eyes are still strong and powerful.

Obviously, people are not old.

Still available also!

"Thank you, Your Highness." Wang Dull arched his hand.

Then sit down.

Quite a little frightened, he asked: "I don't know why His Highness urgently summoned the old man?" ”

Zhu Yunxi doesn't sell Guanzi either.

He immediately asked, "Does the old gentleman know about the recent land reform?" ”

Wang Yu nodded.

said: "This is the virtue and government implemented by His Royal Highness, which can be called unprecedented!" ”

"Although the old man resigned from the township, he still knows what His Royal Highness has done for the people, but unfortunately the old man is now old and weak."

"Otherwise, I am willing to be a pawn for His Highness!"

Wang Yu shook his head regretfully.

Hate only hated that he was born earlier, and when Zhu Yunxi was in charge of the country, he had already left his post and no longer served as the political envoy of Zhejiang.

It's a pity.

"The old gentleman cultivates first, and in the future, there will still be a place that can not be separated from the old gentleman!"

Zhu Yunxi naturally would not let go of such an important minister.

The Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, and it is far from enough to have talents in Beijing, and there must be talents in the local area!

In this way, Zhu Yunxi's will can be truly implemented!

"Dare to ask the old gentleman, what do you think of Cheng Qian and Xin Yan's talents?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.

Wang Yu was stunned.

After muttering for a long time, he couldn't speak.

"This ......"

Zhu Yunxi came back to his senses, this question was indeed a little difficult for Wang Yu to answer, after all, a former left-hand political envoy, no matter how you evaluate the current left-right political envoy, it is not appropriate.

"Sir, but it's okay to say!"

Only then did Wang Yu slowly speak: "The talent is mediocre, and I am so happy, I can't do it for a long time." ”

"Please forgive the old minister for bluntly saying that these two people are not the best candidates for the political envoys of Zhejiang."

Zhu Yunxi roughly had the answer in his heart.

Only then did he explain his speculation to Wang Yu.

Wang was shocked.

Immediately, he couldn't help but scold: "Shaft! How dare you do that? ”

"Land reform is a policy related to the Ming Dynasty, and these two people dare to be so bold! It's really damn damn it! ”

"When the investigation is carried out layer by layer, no one can be tolerated!"

Needless to say, Zhu Yunxi is naturally only soft-hearted, but the truth has not yet been ascertained.

Zhu Yunxi invited Wang Yu to come, also to prepare in advance.

If there is really a problem with Zhejiang's political envoy, then Zhu Yunxi will immediately take office as Wang Dut.

Go to Zhejiang to continue the land reform.

If nothing happens, it is naturally a blessing, there is no need to let him work too hard, at most he can punish these two people.

"Old gentleman, these days, please stay in Jingshi and wait."

"If there is really a change in Zhejiang, please ask the old gentleman to serve as the political envoy of Zhejiang Zuobu, and worry a lot about the affairs of the Ming Dynasty."

Wang Yu got up and arched his hand: "It should be like this." ”

"The old minister has been a political envoy for more than ten years thanks to His Majesty's love."

"Today, His Royal Highness's land reform is beneficial to the country and the people."

"The old minister should go all out!"

Zhu Yunxi was very satisfied with Wang Yu's answer, so that no matter what happened in Zhejiang, the situation could be quickly reorganized.

This will not delay the great cause of land reform.

……

Ten days later.

Jinyiwei and the People's Supervision Department came news one after another.

One message after another was sent to Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Yunxi's heart also sank, Zhejiang Cheng announced that there was really a problem with the land reform of the political envoy department!

After a visit by the People's Supervision Department, Yang Shiqi found that Zhejiang's land reform was a mere formality, although there was a declaration of the matter and the collection of everyone's land deeds.

However, for the measurement of land, the issuance of silver has repeatedly lagged behind.

The government and the imperial court just blindly shirked and did not give a clear reply, but whenever asked, they took the Gyeonggi region as an example and then vouched for it in the name of Taisun.

It is claimed that the silver is sent to the state capital, and it still needs to go through a series of processes.

Let the people wait slowly.

Many people in Zhejiang, because they are close to the Gyeonggi area, know the past situation, and they are quite relieved.

And he has great respect for the grandson and is willing to believe in the government.

Therefore, there was no resentment among the people, and the land deed was willingly sent to the government, but there was still a part of the private land that had not been recovered, and the land deed was still in the hands of the original owner.

However, the Zhejiang government had already sent the land deed of the entire political envoy some time ago.

It said it had nationalized all its fields.

Nothing is missing!

"Forged the deed is really a good method!"

The coldness in Zhu Yunxi's eyes flashed.

According to Jin Yiwei's secret investigation, the appropriation of the imperial court has already reached the Zhejiang Political Envoy Division, and the silver taels are piled up in the treasury!

How can there be a problem of insufficient silver taels or sluggishness?

It's just that the officials of the Zhejiang Political Envoy Department are unwilling to issue it!

It's just that until now, Zhu Yunxi still doesn't know what the motive of the Zhejiang political envoy is, and what is the use of piling up so many silver taels?

Until Jiang Zheng returned from Zhejiang.

Only then did Zhu Yunxi understand the whole picture of the matter.

"Your Highness, there are two general situations in this incident in Zhejiang."

"First, the officials of Zhejiang's political envoys tried to be greedy for heaven's merits, intending to deceive the Beijing division and seize political achievements with the illusion of completing the land reform at great speed."

"So that the official road is prosperous and the promotion is convenient."

"Second, Zhejiang's political envoys and officials are complicit, greedy for money, and continue to make profits by forging land deeds, collecting rents and loans, and even buying treasury bonds."

"At least one-third of the money allocated to the Zhejiang political envoys has been released to many landlords and gentry."

"to earn interest."

"He also secretly bought treasury bonds, used the money to generate money, and distributed dividends to officials."

"It is even a forgery of land deeds, intending to embezzle funds and oppress the people!"

"It can be described as deception and deception, and there are many crimes!"

Zhu Yunxi laughed angrily, these people are quite smart, and they know that money can also make money.

The money allocated by the imperial court can be withheld.

If you make use of this money in various ways, as long as it is like this for two or three years, many Zhejiang officials will definitely make a lot of money!

Eat with a mouth full of oil!

But in this way, the people of Zhejiang's political envoys have never been able to get money.

It's inevitable to resent.

And those people who were forged land deeds are even more innocent!

But this matter is really difficult to investigate, as long as it is in a trance, two or three years have passed, and the silver of the imperial court has been sent.

The people's grievances are self-sufficient.

And those who have been in arrears for so long that those who have forged the land deeds only need a little compensation to make them obedient.

As long as it is done properly, the imperial court may not even know about it at all!

But it's a pity that what they thought was a seamless plan was seen by Zhu Yunxi from the side of the paperwork.

After all, the gap between those who have really done things and those who haven't done things is too big!

"Hmph, pass on Lone's order!"

"You can send someone to Zhejiang Chengxuan Political Envoy Department to bring all the people involved in the case back to Beijing!"

"Lone wants to try this case himself!"

With Zhu Yunxi's order, countless brocade guards dispatched from Beijing.

Go straight to Zhejiang!

At the same time, the matter of Zhejiang's political envoys gradually spread in Beijing......

Following.

Morning.

When the ministers and officials saw Zhu Yunxi.

I found that His Royal Highness Taisun's face was ugly today!

The entire Fengtian Temple was immersed in a solemn atmosphere, and everyone didn't even dare to breathe!

They were waiting for Zhu Yunxi to speak.

The sweltering summer made the ministers sweat like rain.

Outside the temple.

The Wind Howls! Thunder shook the sky!

The storm is coming!
